Should You Attend the Home Inspection?
By City Home Inspectors

🏡 Buying a home is personal. It's more than an address—it's your future. So, when inspection day comes, the big question is: Should you be there?

The short answer: Yes, if you can.
Let’s break down the emotional benefits and logical reasons why attending your home inspection can be a game-changer.

💬 Emotional Connection: See Your Future Firsthand

There’s something powerful about walking through the home with an expert by your side. It’s your chance to:

  • Ask questions in real time

  • Understand how the home actually works

  • See potential issues—not just read about them later

  • Start planning for improvements or changes

You'll walk away feeling more connected to your future home—and far more confident in your purchase.

🧠 Logical Benefits: Informed Decisions = Fewer Surprises

Attending the inspection allows you to:

  • Get clarifications that may not be obvious in a report

  • Understand which issues are urgent, and which are cosmetic or common

  • Ask about maintenance tips for HVAC systems, sump pumps, water heaters, and more

  • Use what you learn to negotiate smarter

⚠️ What If You Can’t Attend?

No worries. At City Home Inspectors, we provide:

  • A detailed digital report with photos and summaries

  • Optional video walk-throughs or post-inspection phone consults

  • Clear prioritization of what needs immediate attention

Still, if you can swing it, showing up in person adds real value to the experience.

🎯 Your home inspector isn’t just looking for problems—they’re there to empower you. Don’t miss your chance to learn, ask, and see.
